About this Cook

I'm a housewife and mother to a beautiful baby girl and expecting a boy in April. This is the best job in the world!

My favorite things to cook

I love to bake, but hate the mess. One of my specialities is meatloaf.

My cooking triumphs

Cooking a turkey for the first time about three years ago. I soaked it in a salt/veggie stock brine all night and "speed baked" it. It was wonderful!

My cooking tragedies

Making a labor intensive italian cake from scratch. It was like a rock!

Cream Cheese Cookies IV

So easy and so good. I made them into thumbprint cookies and put a dollop of preserves on top before baking.

Jesse's Toffee Bars

I made these last year for xmas goodies and they were a big hit. I will definitely be making them again. They are VERY good without the chocolate, too. Easy to make and delicious.

Fruitcake Cookies

This recipe is easy to prepare and easy to customize. I do not like bourbon so I used water with a lot of vanilla extract. I also did not have enough raisins or the pineapple and just used extra fruitcake mix to make up most of the difference. This made WAY more than 4-6 dozen when dropped by teaspoons, but it was a nice size cookie. I wouldn't make them any bigger. Now I just have plenty to share. I do not like fruitcake AT ALL, but would actually eat these. My husband LOVED them. I hope they last till Xmas!
